- Join us on this epic camping trip during an unexpected storm. Winter camping takes on new meaning with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. With a cargo trailer, wood stove and a shovel we manage to enjoy it.
You guys are either very brave, very nuts, or extremely dedicated to camping. I believe it's all three and I am envious. Have fun😁
You might be right! It’s also a bit addictive. Thank you so much for being here!
So glad you have the wife that does the winter camping with you. Mine says nope lol
lol! Yes suz is always up for an adventure, but a heated trailer and a shower with hot water, a toilet, electric fridge queen size bed definitely helped.🤣
YOUR WIFE IS SMARTER THAN YOU ARE! COME ON, IF THIS IS FUN, YOU NEED TO SEE A PSYCOLOGIST.
I admire your adventurism, my wife is not convinced, even though we live in cottage country!
Well if you already live in cottage country……that is pretty awesome. We head there to escape the city.
LOL, there's no universe where a version of me voluntarily goes into somewhere that snows. I know there are plenty who love it. But I moved to southwest Texas in hopes of never seeing that white stuff from the sky again! On a more fun subject, I love to see more videos from vanlifers and trailer nomad showing what they live off of in terms of food choices (storage, cooking, preserving, etc.) and other key items. It's interesting to see--especially for fulltime nomads--how they set themselves up for decent periods off-grid or nearly off-grid.
Lol. Good to know yourself. In Canada we don’t have a lot of warm weather options in terms of places to live…..so we must figure out a way to enjoy winter since it’s a big part of our year. But I love the warm weather too.
Yes I agree that’s a great suggestion for perhaps a future video when we are on what if our long haul trips. Thanks for the comment appreciate it.
Love and light ireland ❤
Lots of work to winter camping especially on crown land. Maggie was the hit of the show. I recognized were you are camped. I’ve stayed there before. One of my most favourite splits. Great video Zac and Suzette
Lots of work but well worth it. Yes Maggie always steals the show. We definitely will return to that spot, but likely not in summer I’m guessing loads of mosquitos and black flies?
Thanks so much, I’m glad u enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed the trip. First time meeting you guys. God bless!!
Welcome! So glad to have you along and really appreciate the comment.
Love your life, enjoy every moment.
Thank you so much. I don’t take it for granted I know I’m fortunate to get to do this.
Hi from New Brunswick, love the video!!!
Thank you very much! Means a lot that you took the time to let us know.
Great Video Guys, that food looked wonderful. Another priceless adventure.
Thank you very much. Funny how some of the simplest foods are the most enjoyable. Appreciate your comment.
The swirl wrap with a 'noodle' of 'dough' works best for me too.
Bannock (unleavened), I clump on.
Funny how something so simple can taste the best!
Cool set up and I looove your doggie.
Thank you very much. You can see a more detailed tour of the camper in this video if u are interested.

And Maggie is very well loved and she also loves absolutely everybody.
Great video!! Did Maggie ever find that snowball 😊? Looks like you all had a great time! So peaceful!
Can't wait for the next video!
She would still be looking if she had her way! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Wow, I never knew Huntsville got this much snow this year since you know most of Southern Ontario where you (and we) live was spared. I do love snow. You got back up skills Zach!! Lol, I love when you said " okay, we're done" after backing into like 3 ft of snow. You guys are fun and crazy❤
It’s amazing the difference a few hours drive north makes. When we are getting rain, they are getting snow. I get lots of practice backing up, and trust me I don’t always get it right. I just edit that out. 🤣🤣. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We really appreciate it.
Huntsville, Parry sound, Muskoka is all kind of the snow belt. Get lake effect of Georgian Bay. Beautiful area.
Agree so many beautiful spots around there.
I loved this episode!! Your rig and equipment performed perfectly. I’m going to have to try those “pigs in the blanket”. (In my family that’s a name for cabbage rolls, but hey Vienna style hot dogs in home made bread dough is sure to be a winner!)
Thank you so much, very encouraging comment. We are really happy with our equipment though we are planning some tweaks to the trailer. We are trying to improve the quality of our content. We HIGHLY recommend the bigs in a blanket. Over the fire it really was a perfect campfire meal. I had no idea it referred to cabbage rolls as well. It fits. Thanks again!
Yummy from Atlanta Ga ❤❤❤❤
You got it!
Intrepid campers you are! Can you tell me roughly where you are? I’m from the uk and have never seen snow like that! First watch of your channel and new subscriber. Love your little dog too.
Hey welcome! Glad to have you join us. We live in London Ontario. However this video was filmed north of a town called Huntsville. If you would like to see loads of snow Canada has lots to spare🙂. Maggie is definitely the star.
Where you at? Northern Ontario?'I've built myself a nice little 14ft bug out that I'd like to get out of SK! Pulled it to the west coast last year and would like to start my journey through the shield! Tips for sites from the Regina area east through Ontario greatly appreciated!
Wow that’s great. Quite an adventure. You will not have a problem finding campsites. I just suggest having a map that shows where crown land is and use google maps to find places.
How far east are u planning on going?
Videos are great ! You guys really put a lot of time into them. Enjoyed this one very much. Maggie is so sweet, glad to see more of her. How is the trailer for condensation ?
Hey great to hear from you! Thanks so much. Yes Maggie is loving life. Definitely the star. The large single panel windows is where we get most of our condensation. I think I have a solution for it, which I plan to do a video on this summer. Thanks for watching and commenting, all 3 of us appreciate it.
@@waysoutback we ordered our Escape 17B with the additional insulation package and thermal windows, planning for 3 season camping. It’s worked out well spring and fall very comfortable but don’t think I’ll try it in the winter. We had some frosty nights in Newfoundland last summer. I know some campers add temporary piece of plexiglass on the inside of the windows, with a small air space. They say it works.
Sounds awesome. That is exactly what we are thinking of doing. Are you living in nfld or were you just visiting. My wife’s family is from nfld.
We live in Eastern Ontario. We did a one month trip to The Rock last summer. Great place to camp, best folks you can meetup with anywhere, I’m sure your wife would agree. Not crowded, lots boondocking sites, and you can enjoy snow in June ! Spent a few days in Le Scie with the icebergs. Going back to Nova Scotia this July. Our trailer is about the same weight as yours, we tow with a Silverado. I noticed you using a handle to set the stabilizers. I use a cordless drill for that, I also replaced the crank for the tongue jack with a bolt and use the drill for that as well. Maybe bump into you along the way. Checkout Silent Lake provincial park, quite nice.
Awesome idea, just haven’t got around to it. An east coast trip is definitely on our radar. Thanks for the suggestions. Appreciate your comments as always.
💯👍
Thank you!
brrrr!!!! how come you didn't use your diesel heater on this trip? or did I miss that? thank you for the video!!!
We always use our diesel heater!!!! Every trip😁. For quick heat it’s the best and to keep the trailer at a certain temp during the night. But the wood stove heat is the best!
@@waysoutback thats great. It's crazy how on this trip the condensation still froze a bit even with that heater going. Stay healthy and thanks for getting back to me.
Definitely something I plan on addressing
Zac..how do you find these spots ...do you use an app ?
Im fairly new to offgrid camping so any advice woiod be greatly appreciated
No I don’t use an app. I just use a crown land atlas and Google maps. Each time I go out I try to explore and find new spots. So many have asked the same question…..I’m planning on doing a video about it soon.
Oh that would be great
Thanks so much for the response
Keep the videos coming !!!
That’s the plan trying to keep to the once a week schedule and hoping to improve the content along the way. We have a lot to learn.
It barely rolled with the truck trying to pull it,I don’t think it will roll stuck in the snow
True!!!
True!!!
Whereabouts is this?
Huntsville Ontario about two hours north of Toronto.
